Wunderdog Sports

Game: Detroit at Oakland (Saturday 8/25 7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Oakland +3 (-115)

The Oakland Raiders have been on the short end of a pair of games that played just the opposite of each other. They lost a defensive struggle to Dallas 3-0, and then a shootout in Arizona 31-27. In his first year, Dennis Allen is needs to get his critics under control, especially after starting 0-2. That way he and his team can open the season with something to feel good about, and ease the tension. It has been a long time since the Raiders have contended, but they are close. They were 7-4 a year ago before collapsing down the stetch to miss the playoffs once again. Detroit has been great here under Jim Schwartz at 11-3, but much like Dennis Allen he had much to prove, inheriting a team that had not won in quite some time. The Lions got over the top and into the playoffs, and this game is not as important anymore. I think the Raiders are a bargain here as a home dog. The Lions have performed very badly in recent years vs. teams that are in need of a win to get off the schneid (teams off back-to-back straight-up losses). In this situation, the Lions have losing seven of their last eight ATS. Play on Oakland.

Houston Texans vs. New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints (1-2, 2-1 ATS) looked like a team with suspended
players on defense last week vs. lowly Jacksonville, while the Houston Texans
(2-0, 2-0 ATS) have looked every bit like the possible Super Bowl contenders
that some project them to be. The significance of all that is this third
week of preseason is the week that the starters play the longest, so strengths
and weaknesses will be brought to light. The two teams get together down on
The Bayou Saturday night at 8:00 ET from the Superdome in New Orleans, LA in
a game televised nationally on CBS.

The Saints will be short-handed all year with linebacker Jonathan Vilma
suspended for the whole season, and New Orleans will also be without its best
pass rusher Will Smith until Week 5 of the regular season. Both suspensions
were handed down in the wake of the Bountygate scandal that also resulted in
Head Coach Sean Payton being suspended for the year. The Saints performed
admirably on the defensive end in their first two games, but keep in mind that
their first two opponen6s, the Arizona Cardinals and the New England
Patriots, each played their starters for just a couple of possessions. The Saints
were exposed defensively last week though vs. the normally putrid Jaguars'
offense in a 27-24 loss, as perhaps one of the worst starters in the NFL in
Blaine Gabbert completed 13 of 16 passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns,
and the Jaguars also added a whopping 170 rushing yards. Moreover, remember
that Maurice Jones-Drew is still holding out, and it was Rashad Jennings
leading the way with 62 rushing yards in 11 carries (5.6 YPC). The Saints should
have no worries on the offensive end and they did accumulate 416 yards vs.
the Jags, but they will not have things as easy as usual vs. the first string
Houston defense for nearly three quarters.

The best news about the Texans' 20-9 beatdown of the 49ers last week was
that Andre Johnson saw his first game action since aggravating a groin in one
of the first days of training camp, and he seemed fully healthy on a 43-yard
reception. With Johnson and quarterback Matt Schaub both now healthy after
injury plagued 2011 campaigns, it gives Houston amazing balance as it now
has a very good passing offense to go with the best running game in football
led by Arian Foster and Ben Tate. And don't forget about the defense, which
improved by leaps and bounds after hiring Wade Phillips as the defensive
coordinator last year and that has continued to impress this season, as the
Texans suffocated one of the best offenses in the NFL on the road in Carolina
26-13 before last week's second stellar defensive showing. Yes, Houston lost
sack specialist Mario Williams to Buffalo in free agency, but you must
remember he was lost for the season fairly early last year and there was no
noticeable drop-off in the Houston defense, and that has continued this preseason.

Houston's Coach Gary Kubiak is now 15-11 during preseason with the two wins
this year, although he is just 3-3 in Week 3 dress rehearsals. Then again,
he may now be coaching the best team in Texans franchise history.


Pick: OVER 44

Saturday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers

STREAKING

Hiroki Kuroda, New York Yankees (12-8, 2.96)

Kuroda continued his run of exceptional starts on Sunday, holding the Red Sox to a single run over eight innings to pick up his 12th win of the season. The right-hander has surrendered only eight runs over his last seven starts heading into action Saturday in Cleveland.

Madison Bumgarner, San Francisco Giants (14-7, 2.83)

Bumgarner racked up 10 strikeouts over eight shutout innings of a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers last time out and has put together a string of eight consecutive quality starts. The 23-year-old looks to extend that streak to nine when the Giants host the Braves.

SLUMPING

Dan Haren, Los Angeles Angels (8-10, 4.90)

Haren has taken back-to-back losses, surrendering 10 earned runs in his last seven innings pitched. Manager Mike Scioscia recently said he will consider using a four-man rotation if Haren can’t step up in his next outing in Detroit.

Josh Johnson, Miami Marlins (7-10, 3.73)

Johnson has taken the loss in three consecutive starts despite only allowing seven earned runs during that span. The Marlins have only provided the right-hander with three runs of support over his last three outings heading into a tough road battle in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.

What bettors need to know: Week 3 preseason (Sat)

There are seven games this weekend in NFL preseason action as teams prepare to cut their rosters to 75 players Monday. We give you the essential tidbits on 6 of them to make your wagers.

SATURDAY

Indianapolis Colts at Washington Redskins (-3, 43)

The No. 1 and 2 picks in the draft, Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, meet in a matchup that has about as much hype as you can stand for a preseason game.

Colts owner Jim Irsay was Tweeting about a potential big trade Thursday night, so you might want to be cautious with betting Indy in case of any major personnel changes. That said, Indy has 62 points through two preseason games (most in the league) and has covered both spreads.

Washington’s starters are expected to play about three quarters. Fans are calling for the Skins to let RG3 air it out more but Washington still has to sort out its backfield before Week 1.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Buffalo Bills (+2, 40.5)

The Steelers fired special teams coach Al Everest this week in a strange move in spite of great special teams play from the Steelers the past couple years. Mike Wallace ended his holdout and is expected back Saturday night, which gives the Steelers their top receiver back.

The Bills’ defense got picked apart last week by Minnesota in a 36-14 loss. Not a good sign for the worst red zone defense in the NFL last season. They’ve only generated 20 points through two games also as they try to determine who their backup QB is – Vince Young or Tyler Thigpen - and figure out their top five receivers.

Detroit Lions at Oakland Raiders (+3, 44)

Lions head coach Jim Schwartz says he treats exhibition games as dress rehearsals and has ‘no set plans’ for how long the starters will play Saturday. He said the staff will ‘take it as it comes’ and they’d like to play well and win the game as the top two priorities.

The first-team offense doesn’t have a touchdown yet for the Raiders and QB Carson Palmer has struggled in the first two preseason games, both losses. Palmer told the San Fran Chronicle the preseason is more about trying out new plays and coach Gregg Knapp agrees. "I will sacrifice some of the ups and downs that go with that,” he said. The starters are expected to play at least the first half Saturday.

Hondo scored big time with the ’Stros against Bill Maher’s Mets last night but gave half of it back with the Royals, so the deficit was reduced only to 2,340 brecheens.

Today, Mr. Aitch will open with that Bumgarner over Los Bravos — 10 units on the Giants. Tonight, he’ll run with the Royals over Slosh Beckett and the Sawx – 10 units on Guthrie.

1 UNIT = New York Yankees @ Cleveland Indians - YANKEES TO WIN (-148)

Listed Pitchers: Kuroda vs Masterson
(Note: I'm risking 1.48 units to win 1.00 unit)

After being swept by Chicago the Yankees bounced back with a 3-1 win as their ace CC Sabathia returned to the mound. The loss was Cleveland's 9th straight loss, and they have been horrible over that span scoring just 6 runs over their last 5 games. The Yankees have Hiroki Kuroda on the mound tonight, and he has been outstanding as of late with a 1.39 ERA over his last 7 starts. On the year he is 12-8 with a 2.96 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and .240 opponents batting average. Cleveland will send Justin Masterson to the rubber tonight who is 9-11 on the year with a 4.73 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and .264 opponents batting average. Over 6 July starts Masterson had a 5.55 ERA, and it hasn't gotten better as he has a 6.35 ERA over 4 August starts. In his last outing he went 5.2 innings giving up 9 hits and 7 earned runs against in Oakland. The Yankees are 9-2 in Kuroda's last 11 starts, and 43-21 in their last 64 games as a favorite. The Indians are 17-39 in their last 56 games overall, 5-21 in their lsat 26 games following a loss, and 1-5 in Masterson's last 6 starts as an underdog between +151 and +200. The Yankees are 10-4 in their last 14 games in Cleveland, and we will lay the chalk on them to win tonight behind Kuroda.

1 UNIT = San Diego Padres @ Arizona Diamondbacks - PADRES TO WIN (+164)
Listed Pitchers: Richard vs Kennedy
(Note: I'm risking 1.00 unit to win 1.64 units)

The Padres won last night's meeting 5-0 as even bigger underdogs than they are tonight. The win was the Padres 5th straight win and they've scored 26 runs over those 5 games (just over 5 runs per game). The Diamondbacks split a 4 game series with Miami at home before last night's loss and now are 2-3 over their lsat 5, scoring just 16 runs over that span. Tonight's starter for San Diego is Clayton Richard who is 10-12 on the year with a 3.73 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and .254 opponents batting average. His last outing was against San Francisco where he went 8 innings giving up 5 hits and 0 earned runs. Over his last 3 starts he is 2-1 with a 1.93 ERA and 0.90 WHIP. Richard has faced Arizona twice this year going 6.2 innings allowing 1 earned run and 8.2 innings allowing 2 earned runs (both in San Diego wins). Ian Kennedy will be starting for Arizona and he is 11-10 on the season with a 4.24 ERAm 1.34 WHIP, and .277 opponents batting average. In his last three starts he is 1-2 with a 5.06 ERA and 1.81 WHIP. The Padres have won 4 straight meetings with the Diamondbacks and I think tonight they have a good shot at upsetting behind Richard who has done well against the D'backs. Take the Padres as big underdogs.

Nationals +110 over Phillies
Gonzalez/Halladay
Two awesome pitchers on the mound today, but I just cannot help to think Halladay is going to get worked to death today and will get no run support as the Phillies just cannot hit left handed pitching. This Nationals team is 20 games better than the Phillies and actually has the better pitcher in terms of numbers this year. Take the Nationals

Washington Redskins -3.5, 42.5
8/25/2012 4:00 PM
SELECTION: WASHINGTON REDSKINS -3.5

Andrew Luck has looked great, but their offensive line is young and they have new pieces to the line this year. This will be the battle of two guys that are going to be special in this league in the future. Short term RG3 is going to be electric, but Luck in ten years might be the best QB in the league. The Redskins are more familiar with each other and I think they will be victorious as the Colts are still trying to gel together. Take the Redskins.

Houston Texans vs. New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints (1-2, 2-1 ATS) looked like a team with suspended
players on defense last week vs. lowly Jacksonville, while the Houston Texans
(2-0, 2-0 ATS) have looked every bit like the possible Super Bowl contenders
that some project them to be. The significance of all that is this third
week of preseason is the week that the starters play the longest, so strengths
and weaknesses will be brought to light. The two teams get together down on
The Bayou Saturday night at 8:00 ET from the Superdome in New Orleans, LA in
a game televised nationally on CBS.

The Saints will be short-handed all year with linebacker Jonathan Vilma
suspended for the whole season, and New Orleans will also be without its best
pass rusher Will Smith until Week 5 of the regular season. Both suspensions
were handed down in the wake of the Bountygate scandal that also resulted in
Head Coach Sean Payton being suspended for the year. The Saints performed
admirably on the defensive end in their first two games, but keep in mind that
their first two opponen6s, the Arizona Cardinals and the New England
Patriots, each played their starters for just a couple of possessions. The Saints
were exposed defensively last week though vs. the normally putrid Jaguars'
offense in a 27-24 loss, as perhaps one of the worst starters in the NFL in
Blaine Gabbert completed 13 of 16 passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns,
and the Jaguars also added a whopping 170 rushing yards. Moreover, remember
that Maurice Jones-Drew is still holding out, and it was Rashad Jennings
leading the way with 62 rushing yards in 11 carries (5.6 YPC). The Saints should
have no worries on the offensive end and they did accumulate 416 yards vs.
the Jags, but they will not have things as easy as usual vs. the first string
Houston defense for nearly three quarters.

The best news about the Texans' 20-9 beatdown of the 49ers last week was
that Andre Johnson saw his first game action since aggravating a groin in one
of the first days of training camp, and he seemed fully healthy on a 43-yard
reception. With Johnson and quarterback Matt Schaub both now healthy after
injury plagued 2011 campaigns, it gives Houston amazing balance as it now
has a very good passing offense to go with the best running game in football
led by Arian Foster and Ben Tate. And don't forget about the defense, which
improved by leaps and bounds after hiring Wade Phillips as the defensive
coordinator last year and that has continued to impress this season, as the
Texans suffocated one of the best offenses in the NFL on the road in Carolina
26-13 before last week's second stellar defensive showing. Yes, Houston lost
sack specialist Mario Williams to Buffalo in free agency, but you must
remember he was lost for the season fairly early last year and there was no
noticeable drop-off in the Houston defense, and that has continued this preseason.

Houston's Coach Gary Kubiak is now 15-11 during preseason with the two wins
this year, although he is just 3-3 in Week 3 dress rehearsals. Then again,
he may now be coaching the best team in Texans franchise history.

1 UNIT = New York Yankees @ Cleveland Indians - YANKEES TO WIN (-148)

Listed Pitchers: Kuroda vs Masterson
(Note: I'm risking 1.48 units to win 1.00 unit)

After being swept by Chicago the Yankees bounced back with a 3-1 win as their ace CC Sabathia returned to the mound. The loss was Cleveland's 9th straight loss, and they have been horrible over that span scoring just 6 runs over their last 5 games. The Yankees have Hiroki Kuroda on the mound tonight, and he has been outstanding as of late with a 1.39 ERA over his last 7 starts. On the year he is 12-8 with a 2.96 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and .240 opponents batting average. Cleveland will send Justin Masterson to the rubber tonight who is 9-11 on the year with a 4.73 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and .264 opponents batting average. Over 6 July starts Masterson had a 5.55 ERA, and it hasn't gotten better as he has a 6.35 ERA over 4 August starts. In his last outing he went 5.2 innings giving up 9 hits and 7 earned runs against in Oakland. The Yankees are 9-2 in Kuroda's last 11 starts, and 43-21 in their last 64 games as a favorite. The Indians are 17-39 in their last 56 games overall, 5-21 in their lsat 26 games following a loss, and 1-5 in Masterson's last 6 starts as an underdog between +151 and +200. The Yankees are 10-4 in their last 14 games in Cleveland, and we will lay the chalk on them to win tonight behind Kuroda.

1 UNIT = San Diego Padres @ Arizona Diamondbacks - PADRES TO WIN (+164)
Listed Pitchers: Richard vs Kennedy
(Note: I'm risking 1.00 unit to win 1.64 units)

The Padres won last night's meeting 5-0 as even bigger underdogs than they are tonight. The win was the Padres 5th straight win and they've scored 26 runs over those 5 games (just over 5 runs per game). The Diamondbacks split a 4 game series with Miami at home before last night's loss and now are 2-3 over their lsat 5, scoring just 16 runs over that span. Tonight's starter for San Diego is Clayton Richard who is 10-12 on the year with a 3.73 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and .254 opponents batting average. His last outing was against San Francisco where he went 8 innings giving up 5 hits and 0 earned runs. Over his last 3 starts he is 2-1 with a 1.93 ERA and 0.90 WHIP. Richard has faced Arizona twice this year going 6.2 innings allowing 1 earned run and 8.2 innings allowing 2 earned runs (both in San Diego wins). Ian Kennedy will be starting for Arizona and he is 11-10 on the season with a 4.24 ERAm 1.34 WHIP, and .277 opponents batting average. In his last three starts he is 1-2 with a 5.06 ERA and 1.81 WHIP. The Padres have won 4 straight meetings with the Diamondbacks and I think tonight they have a good shot at upsetting behind Richard who has done well against the D'backs. Take the Padres as big underdogs.

That's good for us here because we know that the Saints can score points, however can they stop anyone this year? They certainly did not do so last week verses the Jags and the fact is, being without LB Vilma and Superstar Pass Rusher Will Smith is going to reek havoc with this team, especially the first 5 weeks of the season. Lest we forget the game these two played last year, a 40-33 Saints win, and let's also not forget that we have 2 good QB Rotations for this one. The Texans want to win this game and will use their D starters deep into the contest. The word I have iŒs perhaps 3 quarters. But visiting teams that want to win is always good for OVERS and while I don't utilize a Model for Pre-season, I do see this as a High Percentage Play even with this high number. We could wait for it to slip down, but I am not so sure it will, and most likely not down to the key number of 42. Let's play 3% here..

SPORTS WAGERS

Washington +104 over PHILADELPHIA

Roy Halladay is one of the biggest household names in sports. He’s carried himself with nothing but class ever since arriving on the scene way back in 1998. He’s a model of consistency, a Cy Young award winner and the list goes on. He also should not be favored over Washington and Gio Gonzalez.

Age affects most everyone. Halladay has pitched over 2600 innings over 396 appearances. He’s 7-7 this season in 18 starts with a 3.95 ERA. At home he’s 4-3 with a 3.63 ERA and over his last five starts he’s 3-2 with a 3.68 ERA. Consistent? Definitely. Dominating? Not. Beatable? Yes.

Philadelphia has just 15 wins in 38 tries against southpaws and Gonzalez is one of the best. Gonzalez has already shut Philly down twice this season (13 IP, 1 ER, 16/4 K/BB) and there’s no reason he can’t do it again. He has 161 K’s in 153 innings, a 3.27 xERA, a 10-2 record on the road with a 3.26 ERA and he’s also pitching for the best team in baseball. Win or lose, taking back juice with a top team, an elite pitcher while facing an inferior opponent is simply a no-brainer.


PITTSBURGH -103 over Milwaukee

The Pirates are still not being taken seriously. Here’s a team with more home wins than the Nationals and with the third highest home win total in the NL, yet here they are a mere pick’em in their own yard against a Milwaukee team that boasts a woeful 20-38 road record, not to mention the Brewers hapless bullpen.

Shaun Marcum comes off the DL to make this start after a two-month hiatus so there’s a reasonable expectation that we’ll see the Brewers awful pen. It marked the fourth time in the past five seasons that Marcum has succumbed to injury - including Tommy John surgery which erased his entire 2009 campaign. Marcum is a free-agent at the end of this year and with a history of durability issues, there is pressure on him to perform well. His fly-ball bias profile (42%) makes him an even bigger risk.

Meanwhile, Jeff Karstens is healthy and on a roll. Karstens only pitched 12 innings in April before shoulder trouble landed him on the shelf for two months. He's been mostly effective since returning to the rotation in mid-June, including a 2-0 month of July with a 2.67 ERA. The Pirates have won four of his past six starts. Even though 13 starts is a small sampling, Karstens has managed to bump up his strikeout rate and lower his walk rate to levels that warrant our attention. Karstens has put together effective stretches in the past, including a 2.65 ERA in the first half of last year and while he occasionally gets hit hard, he’s certainly undervalued here against a team that doesn’t win on the road often with a pitcher coming off a two-month DL stint

SPORTS WAGERS

Indianapolis +3½ over WASHINGTON

The Redskins 33-31 loss in Chicago last week looks much better on paper than it actually was. Washington was down 30-10 heading to the fourth quarter when the Bears third and fourth units entered the game. They made it close but let’s call a spade a spade. Washington’s first and second units couldn’t score on Buffalo or Chicago.

The Colts are prepping diligently in this pre-season. New head coach, Chuck Pagano is the former defensive coordinator for the Ravens, hired to John Harbaugh's first coaching staff in 2008. Pagano's defense in Baltimore finished 3rd in both points allowed and yards allowed last year. Pagano is busy implementing the same aggressive and quick defense. It will take time, of course, but the team is buying into it and they are treating this kind of game different than most.

Andrew Luck and the starting offense are expected to play into the third quarter. Here’s what Bruce Arians, the Colts offensive coordinator had to say about this game, "We are using 60 to 70 percent of our stuff. For us right now, to be successful is more important than hiding anything. We want to be successful, build confidence in everybody, not just Andrew, but in the whole unit.” In two preseason games, the offense has been sharp and the defense is getting better. Indy rolled up 38 on St. Louis in their pre-season opener and just missed winning in Pittsburgh last week when they hung a 24 on the Steelers. This is a team that wants to succeed badly in the pre-season to change last year’s debacle and with all the hype surrounding RG3, we get a very nice number to work with here
